Jose Mujicathe former president of Uruguay, has returned to the center of attention after his recent statements about Cristina Kirchnerthe former president of Argentina and current leader of the Justicialist Party (PJ).
Jose Mujicaknown for his frank and direct style, publicly apologized for having called Cristina Kirchner “old”, but insisted that she must use her power to seek and promote new leaders within Peronism.
The controversy began when Mujica, in an interview with the AFP agency, referred to Cristina Kirchner in an undiplomatic manner. “There is the old Kirchner in Argentina, at the head of Peronism.
Instead of acting like an old counselor and leaving new generations behind, no, she’s screwing around there. How difficult it is for them to give up the cake!” These words generated a wave of reactions in both Argentina and Uruguay, and Mujica was criticized for his rude terminology.
In a subsequent interview with the Radiomundo program En Perspectiva, Mujica acknowledged that his words were not the most appropriate. “The terminology I used was not at all diplomatic and was rude.”
However, despite the apology, Mujica maintained his position on the need for renewal within Peronism. “Cristina Kirchner is a phenomenon, probably in Argentina there is no one who enjoys the affection of the masses of a certain sector, 30% or 40% of the Argentine population, who love her so much. She has a tremendous subliminal weight, she is an admirable woman and exceptional“.
Insistence
Jose Mujica He has been a constant defender of political renewal. In his own career, he has promoted the entry of new generations into Uruguayan politics, especially within the Frente Amplio and the Popular Participation Movement (MPP).
In the interview, Mujica highlighted that Peronism in Argentina needs to follow a similar path. “I think that the great references, and there is no other reference of Peronism greater than Mrs. Cristina Kirchnerthey should use their power to dive, search and push for new generations to be processed.”
